Star Citizen - I like the idea, understand why they would need a lot of funding to produce a game of that scope and detail. But they are now massively exceeding the funding they initially asked for, mostly due (as far as I can tell) to exceedingly slick promotion and the ability for backers to buy shiny things which they can play with immediately. Hopefully all the stuff they are now sticking on, being developed by other studios etc. will be successful and not get in the way of making an awesome core game.

I'm a huge fan of Freespace 2 and its assorted mods and modscene. There's lots of people that want a good space game in that style and outside of them no one is actually making it. I guess that's why it's so popular.

Pretty broad really, I don't have time to go looking for underground stuff, because that would involve talking to the hipsters of hip hop. And there's nothing worse than a hip hop hipster, joyous alliteration aside.

Used to listen to a lot more hip hop. Recently got around to downloading that Blackstar album along with Talib Kweli's latest effort. Kweli isn't quite the same quality anymore, but the Blackstar album was sounding pretty good.

Was always more into local stuff though. Rodney P, Nextmen, Foreign Beggars going a bit further north Braintax etc. Going (relatively) old school Mud Family, Louis Slipperz and such. Most up to date thing I have been listening to is probably Four Owls.

So yeah, not very helpful, but basically just UK stuff from about ten years ago.

I C wat U did ther (unless you didn't. Kweli's best album was called Quality in any case). I'm inclined to agree, every time he brings out a new album it's like when Sega do a Sonic game. I desperately want him to be brilliant again but after he started getting too self conscious about his fame he's not been quite up there. At least when Kanye did that, he turned so gloriously insane and paranoid that he was still sort of respectable as an artist. I don't think it counts towards his proper discography since it's a mixtape type deal, but Right About Now is one of the post-Quality albums that I enjoyed. Check it out if you haven't already.

Got some more names that have come to mind that I like, too.

Planet Asia
Outkast
Dizzee Rascal (yeah fuck you, I even like his new stuff)
Goodie Mob (for the uninitiated, this is the outfit where CeeLo got his start. When he left the group they put out an album called "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show", the cover had the remaining members sitting next to an actual chimp. I love the audacity of that so much that I can't even be bothered to point out that a chimp is an ape, not a monkey)
Akira The Don (the earlier stuff, he's a bit obnoxious these days)
Roots Manuva
Afrika Bambaataa
Plan B
Wu Tang
Nas
DJ Shadow

In my mind and my vacant kitchen, lol, I'm far too unfit to dance unless I'm far too drunk to lindy hop! Not that I've not tried it out before, there was a free class at uni that I went to for a couple of weeks... but I couldn't keep up. Perhaps when I'm healthy

Remember, this is a post-Nolan film by the hack that made the last edgy Superman where he punched a dude through buildings for an hour so who knows how Wonder Woman will turn out.

Calling it now, meth-addicted prostitute with a heart of gold and a mouth of few teeth. Can't turn invisible, but because she's slipped through the cracks of an uncaring, capitalistic society, she is symbolically invisible. Zack Snider won't leave it at that though, he'll tell you that hammy bullshit in the script somewhere.

During her origin story, she'll smash the back of a pimps head against a wall whilst calling him a motherfucker and he'll die of his injuries. That will be the only time you hear an F-bomb though, as WB are shooting for a 12A. What good is a dark, edgy film if all the kids can't see it?

“Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe."

Someone should tell Zack Snyder that 'most powerful' doesn't mean 'punched most people through buildings'.

Definitely not a superhero fan, but a while ago I read about Wonder Woman's inception. Apparently she was originally conceived as a non-violent character, with more of an interest in understanding the bad guys and resolving their issues (hence the lassoo of truth). Presumably she now just runs around punching people through buildings and not getting her own film.
